' application filed April 28,1926. Serial No. 105,091. I I

My invention relates to an improvement in scarfs or neckties shown in the accompanying drawings and more particularly described in the following specification and claims. j

The purpose of the present invention is to improve the construction of the scarf shown in my Patent Number 1,282,042 issued October 22nd, 1918.

As in the construction shown in my former patent, the present tie isdesigned to be opened in the back that it may be pressed from the inside when wrinkled through wear.

Heretofore it has been customary in making fouriI1-hand ties to insert a padding or lining of canton flannel or other suitable material to give the tie the fullness neces sary to producea pleasing effect when worn and in accordance with the usual custom in neckwear not designed to be opened the lining consists of a padding in'closed within the silk fabric forming thetie. This linlng however, frequently becomes misplaced beneath the covering of silk producing a bunched-up appearance and if pressed while in that condition the tie is apt to be permanently injured through creasing.

In my former invention a lining extending from edge to edge'of the tie was provided to give the required fullness and to insure against creasing, the marginal edges of the lining were stitched beneath a binding strip or beneath the marginal folded edge of the silk forming the tie.

While this manner of constructing the tie disposed of the objectionable feature of the lining becoming displaced, it has been found in practice that owing to the difference in the material forming the outer covering and that of the lining they would not stretch uniformly and upon applying a pressing iron to the lining the covering silk was apt to be creased, thereby ruining the latter. q

The primary object of the present invention is therefore to construct a tie which may be readily opened at the back for pressing, the lining being divided into two strips spaced apart and respectively attached to the inwardly turned marginal edges of the tie, thereby supplying the required fullness necessary to produce a pleasing effect but leaving the central longitudinal portion of the tie-being that portion exposed when wornunlined so that it may be readily pre ed upon app ying an iron directly to the in view the invention further consists back of the silk forming the tie, insuring a smooth unwrinkledouter'surfaceu a With the foregoing and other objects in other details of construction hereinafter de-' scribed and claimed it being understood that changes may be made in the precise embodi ment of the inventionshown in the drawings without departing "from the spirit of the same. i l

I In the drawings accompanying this speci fication: p r r I Figure 1 is a fragmentary elevationof a four-in-hand .tie asviewed from the bacl: showing the usual overlapping folded edges at the back opened to expose the lining or strips of padding secured to the respective folded portions.

Figure 2 is a fragmentary elevation of the tie shown in the preceding view with the" detachable edges folded and secured together as when worn. I

Figure 8 is a cross-sectional view on line 33 Fig. 1; I

Referring to thereferenee letters upon the drawings A denotes a four-in-hand tie of usual shape with its overlapping edges B, Eat

the enlarged end of the tie detachably connected together'at the back with snap fastening device C 'of usual construction. s The overlapping edges B, B are dividec by a transverse cut B at the'back adjacent the narrow neckband D connecting the wide end B with the relatively narrower end D ,the latterlwhen wornbeing concealed beneath the former. v p

E, E indicate strips of canton flannel or other suitable; material spaced apart and respectively sewed beneath a binding strip to the marginal edges of the enlarged overlapping folded ends B, of the tie,sthe inner edges of the strips may be loose or blind-stitchecw'to the silk fabric adjacent to the creases resulting from folding the ends B, B back upon the longitudinal central portion orbody of the tie. The longitudinal central portion of the tie is unlined when opened and therefore it may be pressed 195 from the back without danger of wrinkling or creasing the fabric.

The inwardly folded edges of the tie may also be pressed through the lining and as these strips may be loose on one edge or blind-stitched to the outer fabric the lining may be readily stretched to adjust it- I self to the outer fabric and thereby avoid wrinkling or creasing the latter When pressed, but if a crease should occur in the inwardly folded edges 13, B when folded in overlapping relation and secured by the snap fasteners it will be concealed when the tie is Worn.

Having thus described my invention What I claim is:

1. In a scarf; a tie fabric folded longi tudinally to provide a medial longitudinal central portion With folded marginal portions overlapping each other and the back of the central medial portion; a lining comprising tWO strips of fabric respectively secured to the edges of the marginal overlapping portions and extending in a transrerse direction from each edge of the latter only to the creases formed in the tie fabric bonding the sides of said longitudinal medial portion.

2. In .a scarf; a tie fabric folded longitudinallyto provide a medial longitudinal central portion with the folded marginal edges overlapping each other and the back of the central medial portion; a lining comprising tWo strips of fabric respectively secured to the edges of the marginal overlapping portions and extending in a transverse direction from the edges of the latter to the creases in the tie fabric bonding the sides of said longitudinal medial central portion, the inner spaced edges of said lining being blind-stitched to the tie fabric along the line of said creases.

In testimony whereof I sign this specification.
